Recently got some new lmc 81-87 front fenders and a passenger door for a really good deal but am wondering if i should resell or be able to actually use them. also wanna know if i can use the same window regulators in the 78 with the 80s door. Thanks!

Not sure about the window regulators but you will definitely need new bumper, rad support, grill, grille filler panel, headlamps, headlamp bezels, grille trim, hood hinges, hood, cowl, etc, in order to use the fenders.

Doors are the same '77-91. Fenders will not work, the whole front clip is different from '73-80 and '81-91, fenders/hood/core support/front harness/hood hinges/cowl/wipers/etc.
